That's a bit hard to explain...I create a bunch of layers, one for grass, one for sky, one for the cliff, one for the emote's body, one for the emote's left hand, right hand eyes. mouth etc. etc. etc. then I open the animation window, set everything on its place with the move tool, create a new frame, use move tool, hide one layer and "unhide" another one if needed, and do each frame using that method. I hope I made everything clear.XD
